Handbook of Emotion Elicitation and Assessment

Handbook of Emotion Elicitation and Assessment Books

Product Description
Emotion research has become a mature branch of psychology, with its own standardized measures, induction procedures, data-analysis challenges, and sub-disciplines. During the last decade, a number of books addressing major questions in the study of emotion have been published in response to a rapidly increasing demand that has been fueled by an increasing number of psychologists whose research either focus on or involve the study of emotion. Very few of these books, but, have presented an explicit discussion of the tools for conducting research, despite the facts that the study of emotion frequently requires highly specialized procedures, instruments, and coding strategies, and that the field has reached a place where a large number of brilliant elicitation procedures and assessment instruments have been developed and validated. Emotion Elicitation and Assessment corrects this oversight in the literature by organizing and detailing all the major approaches and instruments for the study of emotion. It is the most complete reference for methods and resources in the field, and will serve as a pragmatic resource for emotion researchers by providing simple access to a host of scales, stimuli, coding systems, assessment tools, and innovative methodologies. This handbook will help to advance research in emotion by encouraging researchers to take greater advantage of standard and well-researched approaches, which will increase both the productivity in the field and the speed and accuracy with which research can be communicated.

Product Description
A Guide for Self-Reflection, Growth, and Exchange

Forbidden feelings, secret fears, stress, burnout-these are issues that many behavioral health care professionals handle in their clients everyday. But when it’s the clinician who is overwhelmed with these issues, there is often no one-and nowhere to turn to. Untreated, these issues can affect therapists’ ability to handle their clients effectively and place unneeded stress on their private relationships. Based on the best-selling book On Being a Therapist, this much-needed workbook nourishes and challenges psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and other counselors, guiding them gently on a journey of self-reflection and renewal. Jeffery Kottler’s well-conceived guide offers behavioral health care professionals a concrete forum to address the crucial daily and long-term issues that inevitably arise in their work.

To help clinicians help themselves, Kottler has filled this hands-on guide with self-assessment exercises and activities-all calculated to facilitate candid self-expression, growth, and exchange. Unique attention is paid to potentially career threatening issues, such as sexual attraction to a client, dread of failure, loss of confidence, and the financial stress and loss of autonomy that many clinicians experience as a result of managed care and its constraints.

By actively engaging in the workbook activities and maintenance a weekly journal, readers will come away with renewed motivation, energy, and creativity as clinicians, as well as a valuable written record of private growth and reflection.

The Pregnant Man: And Other Cases from a Hypnotherapist’s Couch

The Pregnant Man: And Other Cases from a Hypnotherapist’s Couch Books

Product Description
A student bound for a prestigious writing program is suddenly and inexplicably incapable of reading a single word. A grave society matron, looking to overcome her anxiety about flying, reveals a daredevil past. A young woman trying to come to terms with her sister’s suicide is in a weak position by a poltergeist’s prankish interventions. A man who sets out to end an addiction to nicotine instead develops a fake pregnancy.

Can hypnotherapy heal a troubled mind? Why is it so compelling and controversial? In The Pregnant Man: And Other Cases from a Hypnotherapist’s Couch, Dr. Deirdre Barrett describes how she has used the fascinating discipline known as hypnotherapy to handle these patients and many others. Tracing the voyage of seven patients through her do, she demonstrates how hypnosis can accelerate and magnify the benefits of psychotherapy–and occasionally its dangers. Several of Dr. Barrett’s patients evince disquieting symptoms–hallucinations, multiple personalities, and more–that hypnotic explorations reveal as variations on the universal themes of like, bereavement, envy, and shame. Other patients result in to her couch more mundane complaints–a desire to quit smoking, dread of flying–and in the course of their therapy reveal surprising dramas behind them.

The Pregnant Man follows Dr. Barrett’s private evolution as a hypnotherapist, even as it illuminates the art and science of a branch of psychotherapy all too often misunderstood by the general broadcast. She clarifies how hypnotherapy can offer a deeper window into the workings of the mind and offers expert guidance on deciding whether hypnotherapy is aptly for you.

From the Trade Paperback edition.Amazon.com Review
Deirdre Barrett doesn’t use a gold watch and a cape, but other than that, her daily routine at Harvard Medical School is aptly out of a carnival sideshow. She puts people into trances, suggests how they might overcome or reckon differently about their problems, and snaps them back out again. With some people, if her word is to be believed, it works quite dramatically: witness the chronic asthmatic, addicted to smoking, who quit the weed–everlastingly–after a single session with Dr. Barrett. But, as she admits, not everyone is so lucky. Some people are much simpler to hypnotize than others, and even those who go glassy-eyed quite readily don’t everlastingly end up cured. The range of ailments that hypnotic suggestion can sometimes help, meanwhile, is as broad as their causal tales are obscure. To Barrett’s credit, The Pregnant Man isn’t much interested in causal theories, preferring to stab close to the details of particular case histories. There are seven of those tales here–and that format, plus the title, make comparisons to Oliver Sacks inevitable. Even as she writes clearly and engagingly, Barrett doesn’t quite match up to Sacks’s limpid brilliance and manic erudition. Nevertheless, the theme matter is fascinating, and her treatment of it informative. –Richard Farr

Psychoanalytic Theories: Perspective from Developmental Psychopathology

Psychoanalytic Theories: Perspective from Developmental Psychopathology Books

Product Description

Peter Fonagy Winner of the 2010 Sigourney Award!

Psychoanalytic theory influenced many facets of 20th century culture, and shows every sign of continuing to have an impact in the 21st. But, in order to sustain this influence it has to adapt to the challenges of out current intellectual environment. This book attempts to build a bridge between psychoanalysis and a dominant perspective in modern psychiatry and psychology: developmental psychopathology. This perspective studies biological, psychological and social influences that act on individuals, shaping their pathways through life. Even as psychoanalytical perspectives are inherently developmental, this is often left implicit. This book highlights the developmental bases for psychoanalytical thoughts, and examines their assumptions and claims in relation to observational and other data gathered within neighboring disciplines. The book reaches back to the work of Freud, and covers North American and European thoughts including the Klein-Bion develop, the British Object Relations tradition, the work of Kernberg and Kohut as well as modern Relational Psychoanalysis.
